another scenery question

This is another question ,somewhat relateing to OBIOS. I just redownloaded Belgium 2004 and it includes an exclude as well as scenery and effects. The scenery as well as the exclude go to addon scenery ,and I wondered which goes on top, the exclude or scenery in the libary? I tried switching them with no seeming effect. My only complaint with the Belgium scenery is the trees look pretty bad,more like blobs. The trees from a distance look fine as well as some trees mixed in with the blob trees.
Any way to fix the trees, that even I could do? And where in the scenery libary does the exclude file go?
 
I may be showing my ignorance but what are forums for? Firstly, I think excludes can go in the same folder as the scenery. I think these are different than flatten files, which scrape things to the bone so the author can build up from scratch, and I think should go below the scenery itself. But I always install things as the author directs first, then season to taste as my machine then directs.

Second, the trees might just be a bad texture file. I have loaded, then pulled out, some sceneries that showed up a mess all because of one file. Rather that hunt it down, not really knowing what to do with it anyway, I just remove the whole thing and move on. I'll try to look at this one because you may be able to just remove a tree bgl or texture file and live with the results. Is this payware or freeware?
 
When it comes to things like this, I'm clueless, you think you get it nailed down, sorted in your head, then something throws a spanner in the works ant it all goes mammaries skywards.

Usually I resolve these things by swearing a lot, and blind luck, failing that it gets dumped. The more expensive the scenery, the harder Itry, lol.

Free ware scenery

The Belgium scenery was free ware and the author said to put the exclude file
in the addon scenery folder, so I put them just below the scenery file in the libary.The trees arent all bad the blob trees seem mixed,mostly up front of course., and from a distance they arent to bad ,but up close the don't look good at all, guess I'll just live with them.
